WW Competitions By Sheila Delfosse AVE YOU EVER THOUGHT of com- H posing a song or writing an Essay? If not, here is your opportunity. At the Tenth Triennial Conference in Melbourne, Australia, in 1962, there was lively discussion about the competition for the next Triennium. Some wanted an essay, others were eager to have a song; they thought that this would give an equal chance to members who speak a wide variety of languages. At last it was decided that it was a good idea to have two competitions, one for a song and the other for an essay. Societies will very shortly be re ceiving details about these competitions. It was thought that the Essay Competition should fol- low the usual patternâ€"a competition to be held in the first place by the Societies taking part and their three prize-winning essays to be sent forward to A.C.W.W. for the Interna- tional Competition. In the case of a song, it will not be necessary for Societies to hold a competition but each can send in up to three songs. Only Societies can send entries to A.C.W.W. Your Society will decide if it is going to take part in the International Com- petition and circulate details. The subject of the song competition is “A Song about A.C.W.W.” A.C.W.W. is not look- ing for an official song but in 1965, if the Conference so wishes, it might decide to adopt one of the entries as an A.C.W.W., song. No 22 song must take longer than five minut n play or sing, but it can be as short a: - sired. It may be submitted in manuscript u the form of a tape or disc recording. It c: ‘t: submitted in the language of the countrf lLl if so, the Society sending it in is asked 1 ct us have a literal translation of the u x. which will give the judges an idea or 1e meaning. Societies are responsible for e are ing that entries for this competition have inal words and music and that no cm is submitted with words or music which at il- ready copyright. The subject of the essay is to be is Society.” It is often felt that the Central 4: ‘6 does not hear enough about work being e by Member Societies. Sometimes a letter m a member, who is sending in her subscr‘r tn for The Countrywoman, or telling us :1 new Letter Friend, contains an inten Jg piece of newsâ€"about money raised for -:k children, how a new hall was built, the can as that was undertaken for a very imps a!“ function, hospitality given to young stut :tts who were strangers in the landâ€"we in lo hear about all these things. You will pet i175 be surprised yourselves when you take sto: of What Your Soaiety has been doing ova: ihe Past few years. The Essay is to be about Jur A.C.W.W., Member Societybits workr 13‘: present or future. (From the Countrywo :t «â€" HOME AND COU. :i‘R‘f
